Dell EMC Enterprise Storage Elastic Cloud Storage

Product Description

Overview:

Elastic Cloud Storage (ECS) is EMC’s 3rd generation object-based platform offering that delivers a modern, multi-purpose, shared global storage system that can infinitely scale and manage both your traditional and next-gen workloads. Now any enterprise or service provider can take advantage of cloud-scale object-based storage by deploying ECS.

With ECS, you have a turnkey storage infrastructure to support applications such as web, mobile, Big Data, and social media. Scale up, scale out, and add new users, applications, and services. Manage your geo-distributed storage resources through a single viewpoint.

Get the savings and simplicity of public cloud while retaining the control and security of private cloud. At scale, EMC Elastic Cloud Storage offers up to 65% lower total cost of ownership (TCO) compared to other public cloud providers.

Cloud-Scale Capabilities And Economics

Traditional SAN and NAS storage platforms, while critical for enterprise applications, were never designed for modern cloud applications and the demands of cloud-scalability. The unabated growth in unstructured content is driving the need for a simpler storage architecture that can efficiently manage billions and trillions of files and accelerate the development of cloud, mobile and big data applications while reducing both storage overhead and cost. In order to fulfill these requirements, IT organizations and service providers have begun to evaluate and utilize low cost, commodity and open-source infrastructures. These commodity components and standard open technologies lower storage costs but the individual components provide lower performance and reliability – and – also require the operational expertise to ensure serviceability of the infrastructure.

EMC® Elastic Cloud Storage (ECS™) provides a complete software-defined object storage platform designed for today’s cloud-scale storage requirements. ECS provides the simplicity and low cost benefits of the public cloud without the risk, compliance, and data sovereignty concerns. ECS benefits include:

• Cloud-scale Economics: 65% TCO savings versus public cloud services
• Simplicity & Scale: Single global namespace, unlimited apps, users and files
• Universal Accessibility: Support for object, file, and HDFS all on a single platform
• Faster App Development: API accessible storage and strong consistency accelerates cloud apps & analytics
• Turnkey Cloud: Multi-tenancy, self-service access and metering capabilities

Key Features:

• Commodity based software-defined cloud storage platform
• Supports Object, File and HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System) in one platform
• Delivers storage as a service: multi-tenancy, detailed metering, a self-service portal, metadata search and management, billing integration and more
